Gelato

Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream,
derived from the Latin word “gelātus” (meaning frozen).

In America this word commonly refers to ice cream varieties made in a traditional Italian style. What makes Rimini Gelato perfect for those weary Beaver Creek and Vail skiers looking for a treat? First it has less fat than ice cream because it’s made with a milk base versus heavy cream and eggs.

Ice cream is whipped with air, the ice cream world version of MSG. This air makes it easier for people to eat larger amounts ice cream. Plus, because of the large amount of fat solubles in ice cream, these fat solubles coat the tongue preventing the eater from getting the true flavor.

Not so with gelato! In our shops in Vail-Lionshead and in Beaver Creek our Visitors eat less and get the full, true flavor of our gelato. Everyday we have 24 tasty, interesting Gelato flavors to choose from in our case. Everyday! There are 12 standard flavors but the other 12 are chosen day of by the chefs! Flavors like Pumpkin Spice, Dr. Pepper and Birthday Cake.

In addition to the gelato we want to take care of those visitors who are lactose intolerant. We create a collection of sorbets available everyday.

Sorbets are non-dairy, fruit flavored, succulent treats! We create 4 varieties each day including Raspberry and dark chocolate! Sorbets contain fruit, pure raw sugar and water. Both of our locations in Beaver Creek and in Vail-Lionshead offer the sorbets. Dome of the other flavors include Pineapple, Mango and Apple!
